TRIALS BY ALIEN JURIES.

A change of venue from Dublin to London
in criminal cases is monstous proposal. he
cighty-six Coercion acts which Parliament has
sanctioned since the Union have not contained
so stringent provision as this. Mr. Gladstone
dcnounccs it as an eXasperating and Insulting
project and aflirms that the Government could
not have devised anything more likely to ag-
gravatc every existing evil. Lord Salisbury
evil genius must have inspired this malcvolent
conception. Previous Administrations have
reluctantly suspended habeas corpus multiplied
facilities for making arrests and strengthened
the authority Of the courts in Ireland. The
nrescnt Primo Minister has not hcsi-ated to
discredit the entire judicial system Of the island
lie does not qualify change Of venue as Lord
North restricted it in the last cent ury in dealing
with the American colonies. One OF the Co
ercion acts passed about the time of the "BOs-
ton tea-party" provided for the transfer oil
murder cases from the Colonial to the British
courts. Tho change of venue, however, was
onIy authorized in cases where murders were
alleged to have been committed by officials OF
soldiers in support of The Crown. The Colonial
courts were allowed TO try ordinary murder
cases, but they were prohibited from indicting
and trying British officers for shooting peaceful
citizens or rioters, as had been done in the so
called .aBoston Massacre" Lord Salisbury
docs not limit the proposed change of venue
50 as to protect British subjects against the
resentment Of Irish juries. He adopts the
extreme course of discrediting Irish jurlcs as
incapable of Judging Of the plaincst case OF
murder He threatens to transfer TO London
all cases Of aggravated crime and to have Eng
lish courts and English jurics register the fate
Of Irshmen.-
Mr.. Gladstone rightly characterizes this CO
crcive proposition as the worst ever submitted
10 Parliament. The moral effect Of LORD
Norths act was very bad in the Massachusetts,
colony, following as 1t did the acQuittal by the
Colonial courts Of the soldiers tried for murder
The tribunals in that case were discrcdited
when they had givon striking proof of i'm
partiaity in exonerating the British Officials
who were responsible for an outrage. How
much worse will be tho moral effect of the pres
cnt proposal, following as it does within few
wears tic conviction by Irish courts OF thu

Commonwealth having decided that it is con,
spiracy prohibited by the law of 1878. The
sufferer in this case was the Darlington Publish
ing Company, of New-Haven, which was in
formed that if certain non union mon were not
discharged Its business should suffer. The

I've an act Of criminal folly. The murdercrs
may get their deserts, but they will become
heroes and martyrs in Ireland. The change OF
venue will be considered an act of tyranny :
popular sympathy will be excited at home and
crimes will be palliated and defend
cd and every stage of procedure in the Eng
lish courts will he pronounced monshous lnJus
tee. A feeling of respect for law would not
be promoted by convictions obtained by such
means Crown law would be eXecrated
and ncfarious crime dignified as phase of des
perate patriotism, if Irish murdcrers were taken
to London TO bc>convictcd and punished. Mr.
Gladstone carefully weighed his words when
he declared that he had never known such
blow at the national feeling of Ireland as this
project for discrediting absolutely the judicial
system of the island.
So monstrous feature rs this change Of
venue cannot be retained in this Coercion
scheme Prominent Liberal Unionists have
declared that they cannot support the measure
unless this provision be modified, and the Cab
met is already reported to have consented to
amend the bill. The moral effect of this I'M

measures Of land reform announced in the
House of Lords might have conciated public

ton of the Government, if they had not been
preceded by so wanton an attempt TO discrcdit

stands, loses prestige by presenting most
irritating and insulting proposition and then

The House of Detention for Witnesses In
this city has always been disgrace or an in
Justice. and much Of the time 1t has been both.
For years scores of innocent witnesses of crime
were locked up there while the criminal went
free on bail and since that evil has been partly
remedied by law, the management of the House
has degcnerated until shocking state of things
prevails. At least that is the official testimony
of the Grand Jury. Now, perhaps the author
tiles in charge of it will have the House cleaned
and made decent. If the Legislature should
abolish it altogether it would be good thing.
Governor Hill has withdrawn the nomination
of Richard for Railroad Commissioner and has
sent two new names to the Senate, one to take
the place Of Mr. O'Donnell and the other Of
Mr. Rogers. These nominees-Mr. Armstrong,
Of Elmra. and Mr.. Buckbee, of East Albany
NAV be fitted by training and experience for
the responsible places for which they have
been named. If so that fact has yet TO be
cstabl she'd. Another fact needs establishing
did the Governor make these nominations in
good faith? There Is reason to suspect that
he did not that his aim in submitting them to
the Senate was rejection and not confirmation.
